Rhea-AI Filing Summary

HSBC Holdings plc repurchased from Goldman Sachs International for cancellation 3,500,000 ordinary shares on UK venues and 9,600 shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on November 6, 2026, as part of its buy-back announced October 28, 2026. The volume weighted average prices were £12.9998 and HK$138.4042 per share, respectively.

Since commencement of the buy-back, HSBC reported repurchases of 7,559,061 shares for approximate total consideration of US$130.9 million. Cancellation of the Hong Kong shares takes longer than cancellation of shares repurchased on UK venues; HSBC said it would announce total voting rights again once those shares are cancelled.

Filing Explained

After cancellation of the UK-venue repurchases, HSBC reports 17,130,540,846 issued shares and voting rights, a denominator shareholders may use to assess whether an interest notification is required; the 9,600 Hong Kong-purchased shares are still awaiting cancellation, and HSBC will report an updated total afterward.

volume weighted average price financial
"Volume weighted average price paid per share"
The volume weighted average price (VWAP) is a way to measure the average price of a security, such as a stock, over a specific period, taking into account how many units were traded at each price. It’s similar to calculating the average cost of items bought when some are more frequently purchased than others. Investors use VWAP to assess whether a security is being bought or sold at a fair price during trading.

"constitute an on-market share buy-back"
total voting rights regulatory
"issued ordinary share capital and total voting rights"
The total voting rights number is the count of shares that carry the right to vote at a company’s shareholder meetings, reflecting how much voting power exists in the market. Investors use it to understand control and influence—like knowing how many votes are in play when measuring ownership stakes, calculating a shareholder’s voting percentage, or assessing how easy it would be for a holder to sway decisions.
